I am trying to get a volume profile to match the "Numbers Bars Text" option of "Ask Vol Bid Vol Diff Diagonal Dominant Side". Is this possible? Unless I am missing something in the native Numbers Bars study, the diagonal calculation drives text and background coloring, but it does not drive any profile shape. Every profile-shaped background type sizes its bar length from either total volume or the same-level Ask−Bid difference — none of them size the bar by the diagonal delta. The "Ask Bid Difference Profile" background sizes each price level's bar from the difference between Ask Volume and Bid Volume relative to the maximum difference in the bar — and that's same-level, not diagonal. So there's no built-in background type whose bar length equals the diagonal delta. Is this correct? To be clear, what I'm trying to set up is a volume profile to match the text setting above. It would size bars like the other volume profiles. If I'm not mistaken the background type calculates the difference between Ask Volume and Bid Volume at each price level, then sets the width of each horizontal bar based on that difference relative to the maximum difference in the bar. So with a bar for ex. that reads from top to bottom: 1, 36, 18, 1, 70, 0, -78, 123, 0, 67, 0 the volume profile bar widths would be: See attached. |
